Apartment dweller.will birds ever find my bird feeder?

I live on the second floor of an apartment building and I have a wonderful balcony that looks out into a heavily wooded area (have our cities protected park in my back yard) I put up a hanging bird feeder in the hopes of attracting some birds out of the woods. So far, I haven’t seen any and I’m wondering if they will ever find the feeder and if it’s just a matter of time. The seed I have in the feeder is a mix of corn, sunflower, wheat, milo, peanuts, and white millet. Any thoughts?

Why did the birds quit coming to my bird feeder? It used to attract everything in the woods but nothing now?

Abby asked:


I had the birdfeeder in a tree at first but had to take it down because of squirrels - turkeys, etc. Everything jumped from my porch into the feeder. I then hung the feeder in another tree. I put a homemade baffle on it (a large plastic planter with a hole drilled in the middle). The “baffle” came to the middle of the feeder and larger birds (Northern Cardinals) couldn’t get to the seed. I saw everything in the feeder including squirrels. I changed the baffle so I can see the birds better and to let the larger birds in and to maybe prevent the squirrels from getting in. I have not seen one bird since. It has been rainy for a few days - could that be it? Or is it the new baffle?

Heather S asked:


I have this bird feeder and I noticed that birds pick seeds and now hundreds of seeds are on the ground. My question is, Is it ok to pick up those leftovers seeds and put them back in the bird feeder? If not, why?

Summerxx asked:


I Have A Bird Feeder, But Birds Never Come To It. I’ve Seen One Or Two, But Hardly Any. It Is One Of The Best Bird Feeds They Sell Out There And I Have A Brand New Bird Feeder. How Do You Attract More Birds To Your Feeder?
I Have Food In It Already. I Thought That Was Implied. When I Talked About The “Feed” Part. Lol. =)
